Boulder County is inviting people who live or own properties along Left Hand Creek to attend either of a pair of community meetings to learn about the process of developing a Left Hand Creek Watershed Master Plan.

That plan will help identify future projects to restore the creek corridor and reduce future flooding risks, as well as to preserve, enhance and restore Left Hand's natural environment in the wake of last September's floods.

One of the meetings is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Altona Grange, 9367 N. 39th St. The second will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 6 at the Greenbriar Inn, 8735 N. Foothills Highway.

The Left Hand Creek Coalition, a collection of local, state and federal agencies and groups, is coordinating master plan activities and hosting the community meetings.

The Boulder alt-country band gives its EPs names such as Death and Resurrection, and its songs bear the mark of hard truths and sin. But the punk energy behind the playing, and the sense that it's all in good fun, make it OK to dance to a song like "Death." Full Story
